NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent dam-
age to the transmission and other
parts.
z Do not depress the accelerator ped-
al while shifting the selector lever
or before the transmission is com-
pletely shifted to forward or reverse
gear.
z Do not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
z If your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as tow-
ing.
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck—
—From rear
(b) Using flat bed truck

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Scion deal-
er or a commercial tow truck service.
In consultation with them, have your
vehicle towed using either (a) or (b).
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Scion dealer or commer-
cial tow truck service, tow your vehicle
carefully in accordance with the instruc-
tions given in “—Emergency towing” on
page 160.
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following few
precautions are observed. If necessary,
show this page to the tow truck driver.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local

must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
